State v. Greengreen2 sentences2025Nor will we even assume that each juror was sufficiently literate to read and comprehend the . . . instruction[s]. [Id. at 474.] We noted the long-standing holding that "[s]ince 'a jury may not even have the luxury of the availability of a dictionary during its deliberations,' a 'faithful performance of the court's duty of expounding law for the jury's guidance and instruction requires a plain and clear exposition of the issues.'" Id. at 475 (quoting State v. Green, 86 N.J. 281, 288 (1981)). 2020See Green, 86 N.J. at 288 (noting that most laypersons are uneducated in the law, do not understand lawyer's jargon, and therefore the jury's guidance and instruction requires plain and clear exposition of the issues). | 2 | 8 |
